Women’s Basketball: Lobos fall in nail-biter to first place Wyoming

On her first 3-point attempt this season, junior post Jaisa Nunn nailed it with confidence — and off of the backboard, of course.

But that shot wasn’t enough.

Wyoming — who had an answer for the Lobos at every corner — was already up by four points with just two seconds to play. The shot was, in essence, meaningless as the Lobos fell, 63-62, at the Pit on Wednesday evening.

The Cowgirls slowed down the fast-paced Lobos to their speed, pressuring them on defense and hitting threes with ease. They held UNM to 38 percent shooting, though that number is skewed, since the Lobos hit 57.
